this was a purfect review .... because i am considering purchasing this car, and i need the very in depth review and this has helped alot! Very thorough. I appreciate it.

nice review but you missed a major thing, this car has 3 driving modes, normal, Sport and Sport +

The suspension is 20 way adjustable manually you have the adjustment knobs on top of each strut : ) you can stiffen it to touring car levels

An excellent review. In depth, informative, thorough and well delivered by you both.

Bravo Mr Z! Camera work was awesome. Give the man a raise 👍🏻

the best review of the v60 so far....very thorough and detailed...thanks

I love the colour of the car.

let me tell you a funny story, I own 2 volvos a 2008 S40 and a 2013 V40, so on the s40 I have a bi-color old nokia style screen and on the 40 I have the same infotainment system you tested on this car. In the last 12 months I drove tested the new XC 90 and the S90, first thing, off the bat that pissed me off and which made me double think if I should buy the new S90 was the damn new infotainment system. Having one big touch screen which replaces all those buttons and having to navigate through menus and menus and menus to do something which I can do in my V40 from a simple button is 1, annoying, 2 unsafe, 3 annoying, 4 potentially unreliable if the damn system freezes or if it physically breaks when your toddler troughs something at it. the system on the current gen V40 and S60/V60 is the right thing for cars, god damn it, we drive cars not iPhones. if you want to drive a gadget and not a car drive a tesla.

once you drive a volvo, you never go back! I currently have a 55 plate (2006) diesel S40.... I'm waiting for my V60 polestar which is due for delivery at the end of march. I'll still be keeping the s40 it's an amazing wee car!

just curios, you said you have the S40 2.0L old diesel, like mine, but at what power level? 136 CP? geartronic or manual?

TheArrogantOne pretty sure the 2.0D was only available with a 6 gear manual transmission? 🤔

my 2.0L diesel 2008 version came with a 6 speed dual clutch tranny

Great thanks

Thanks for this review, really enjoyed it! I've been looking on youtube for vids reviewing the v60 polestar as mine is due to arrive at the end of March (why do I have to wait so long?) I'm already a volvo fan though.... I'm not sure it will be THAT different from my 11 year old diesel s40 right? lol Thankyou for whetting my appetite until it arrives.... I wonder if it will be the only one in Scotland, hmmmmmm.

leggylady i hope you like it I just took my 2018 one and its the best thing ever. Swapped to it from a 2017 Subaru WRX. That seems like a wooden carriage now.....

Does this version have belt or chain?

Super car Volvo v60 number 1

I love the detail in the review but I hated the driving portion of the review. At the end of the whole video I have no idea if the car understeers or oversteers. Is the torque available at low bands or does the power come on slowly? Other than those complaints I thought it was an overall great review. Good job.

@@dorothybaloyi8448 "Acceleration is quite fun, the steering feels well, .......brakes are ok". This is not the detail a real driver wants to hear. I would much rather hear about actual performance. Again, no mention of objective driving characteristics nor when the power comes on in the torque curve. These are very critical things to know when buying a sports car. I do appreciate you trying to show me where in the review the information should be, thank you.

I am not sure if it is bixenon head lamp... ?

jamin2222 it is. In fact my V60 bi xenon headlights on my 2013 are better than my full led on my current merc

new volvo s90 is full premium , can't wait for new s60 :))

Great video and good framing and steady shooting by your camera guy. Car? Not my type of thing and I would not want to spend that kind of money on such a dated infotainment system. Did you mention how many USB ports it has? Has it even one? Apple CarPlay? Of course not. Plenty of power, nice paint job and that's it. Not much more to tempt me.

It has ios integration and a web browser. It has an in car modem. You can use whatever app you want directly on the infotainment..... Even watch a youtube video

I'd be happy to own that car and use it as my daily drive, but no way it's even close to worth it's price.

Nice shoes

nice rubber shoes😊

really? you compare a 250 hp car to a 367 hp car? 345 Nm vs 470 Nm? o to 60 in 6.5 vs 4.7 ? WOW, that focus ST sure is fun,.... to laugh at.

TheArrogantOne It has a far better chassis and feels more direct. I bet it would give this Volvo a run for its money. You do realize that for the money of that volvo you could get a focus ST AND a Ford Mustang for the same amount of money? That's idiotic.

TheArrogantOne I've driven the standard V60 and there's no way, I don't care how good you are at tuning the chassis, you can't make it handle better than a Focus. No way.

And the Focus RS has AWD, 350HP, better chassis and is 30000 euro less. This car is not worth 70000 euro, bottom line.

70000 euros for an average car. Don't think so.

care to explain what is average about a car which gets 367 hp and 470 Nm from a 2 liters 4 cyl engine? not to mention it has a supercharger and turbocharger and it get from 0 to 60 in 4.7/8 sec. plus it was the very first car to get the Good rating in the IIHS small overlap test, at the same testing session the Merc C classe, Audi A4, 2 Lexus models got Poor and the BMW 3 series got Marginal. Average huh? well, I guess I can say you have an average car culture.
